Best Answer

A puppy should be at least eight weeks old and weaned before taking it to its new home.

you should take a puppy as soon as possible because if you take it when it is a full grown adult when you take it home you wont spend much time with it. if u adopt it as a puppy your able to play with it and spend time with it. it should be at least 8 weeks old and if u dont want a litter of pups u should get it treated.

this depends on the breed /size of your dog , most types are considered mature enough to be neutered at 6 months , but still considered junior/puppy until 12 months however bones are still developing until 18 months. large breeds are slower to mature and are not fully adult until 18 months - 2 years

A dog/puppy from a pet store or puppy mill may or may not have genetic defects, you would have to check with your vet, but if you have not already bought your puppy, I suggest you adopt from an animal shelter.
